I must not be getting my search terms quite right. I'm getting ready to add a module to my HTPCs so I can turn them on VIA remote. However I'd prefer not to have just a hole drilled in the case for the IR sensor. It would look much cleaned if I had it behind a cover of some sort.

 

This seems to be about the only thing I've found so far. (Amazon link, example)

 

There has be other sort options right? Cutting and modifying, are fine, just hoping maybe I'm not searching for the correct thing.

Buy a low cost 3d-pen and a sample pack of IR-transparent filament.

The Declaration of Independence, once the charter of democracy, begins by saying that certain things are self-evident. If we were to trace the history of the American mind from Thomas Jefferson to William James, we should find that fewer and fewer things were self-evident, until at last hardly anything is self-evident. (G. K. Chesterton - Aug. 14 1926 (The Illustrated London News))

It's an idea, but I'm not sure it would give a nice finished look.

 

Other ideas I've come up with (as I'm still searching):

  • PC bay cover Infrared accessory. I don't have an empty bay, as my single 5.25" bay is filled with a blu-ray drive, however I just thought about stealing the lens out of the cover.
  • Also tempted to just order a replacement remote and cut the lens out of it.
